Recent News

Bell (6'6/252) was a four-star quarterback recruit to OU, but wound up at tight end due to Tebowian passing skills. He caught 16 passes for 214 yards and four TDs as a senior. Although Bell's development at tight end was steady, he is a pedestrian athlete for the position with 4.80 speed and a 33-inch vertical. Bell will also be a 24-year-old rookie, a concern for his long-range ceiling. Draftniks seemed to love Bell, but he's a long shot for much NFL impact. Sat, May 2, 2015 01:03:00 PM

Oklahoma TE Blake Bell's "skill set at [tight end] is intriguing enough to warrant listing" as a diamond in the rough, believes CBS Sports' Rob Rang.

"Realizing that he simply isn't accurate enough to remain at quarterback in the NFL, Bell made the switch to tight end as a senior and though his production was hardly eye-popping (16 catches for 214 yards and four touchdowns), he showed the toughness, work ethic and soft hands necessary to earn middle- or late-round consideration as a developmental prospect at the position," Rang wrote. The 6-foot-6, 259-pound Bell drew comparisons to Lions tight end Joseph Fauria at the Shrine Bowl, according to the Sporting News' Chris Kouffman. That we know of, Bell has worked out for or met with the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles. "The well-proportioned Bell has workable overall athleticism and excellent bloodlines," Rang wrote. "Both his father (Mark) and uncle (Mike Bell), played on the defensive line in the NFL for the Seahawks, Colts and Chiefs." Mon, Apr 13, 2015 05:54:00 PM

"Best football is ahead of Oklahoma TE Blake Bell. Converted QB, better each week (confidence) Runs routes with "QB Eyes"-NFL DNA (Dad/Uncle)-Works," Davis tweeted. The 6-foot-6, 259-pound Bell has ideal size for the position at the next level, and with solid hands as a pass catcher, he offers an NFL team a raw but promising prospect. The Oklahoma TE has improved his blocking, which could help him find a roster spot on an NFL team. Thu, Mar 5, 2015 02:07:00 PM
